Yes! I thought my broadband was playing up. 

It's slower than the start of one of those bike races at the Olympics moonman

tell you what though, it's very clever though. I was just looking at an advert for a Radley bag in today's newspaper, and a Radley bag advert appeared on here. That's gotta take up a bit of energy eh?

I couldn't get this site to load up for ages.

I think someone needs to feed the hamsters Rosie 

 Rexi 

Thats how it is for me too Yogi and when you try to post you get them bliddy cogs turning and nothing happening 

 Same with me.

Thats it for me for now  I will try again later 

Hi and bye Baz 

I'm giving up too, Moonie. Will be back later.

Yep - ages

Yeah! ages to get into the forum and another age to open this thread and then a third age to type this message 'cos the box kept vanishing!

I agree, this forum is very very slow today whether moving to another page or posting though it eventually does get through.

And nothing in the community announcements - so it doesn't look like there's any tinkering going on!

Do we know the reason EL?

No. Maybe the adverse weather conditions in the NE States has resulted in the staff being unable to get in to feed the hamsters.

I've just reported this on the Social Strata help forum and this isn't the only Hoop.la site which is running slow.

Thanks El Loro. Could be those hamsters 

Thanks El Loro 

I am beginning to realise why I went before 

Thanks El Loro . Aren't they on the NW though

Seattle, but also Charleston which is in the SE.

Lori has just confirmed they are looking into the problem.

 That was quick *keeps finfers crossed* 

Was still slow as I fought my way to Question Shark to see how things were progressing. Nothing new to report so came back here via the BACK button and it's much better.

Obviously just my presence was enough to galvanise them into action!

  yessssssssssssss   

Social Strata have said that things should now be back to normal

Its so much better now fankoo El Loro   

Nice one. It's all good now.

In fact it's so quick, it's writing my posts and submitting them for me  

Cuts out the middle man 

It does free up time for me to do other things. But word of caution. Yesterday it started posting my weather updates in the CDWM thread !!!

Oh yeah I saw that 

Noticed that EC. Glad you caught it before it started spamming the place - on your behalf.

it's a lot better now
